PANGOLIN Studio is our new project to provide us, and in the future others with a comfortable, simple but high quality environment for recording primarily acoustic music and video in a beautiful location.

PANGOLIN Studio

A Work in Progress

We've made significant progress in setting up the studio; most of the equipment is in place and we have started to furnish the space not just with great recording tech, but with furnishing and decoration to make it a comfortable and stimulating environment to work, rest and play.

We'll keep you posted as to new developments and additions. We think it's going to be great!

Nice eh!

The location

PANGOLIN Studio is located in the beautiful Welsh countryside near Abergavenny, Monmouthshire. As you can see the studio is secluded but we are only 10 minutes from Abergavenny town with its pubs, restaurants and other amenities.

The studio has a comfortable sofa, kitchen area for making tea and toast, heating up last night's curry and keeping the beers cold, a full bathroom and even a double bed for those in need of a serious rest.

The recording tech

We have kept things simple and aimed the tech at the acoustic singer/songwriter/performer or small ensemble (like us). We've a range of microphones including a SE Electronics R1 ribbon microphone (pictured above), fantastic for vocals and acoustic guitar; a matched pair of Behringer C4 small diaphragm condenser microphones which are specially designed for recording acoustic instruments; a pair of legendary Shure SM58's for those with perhaps a more powerful bluesy or rock vocal and a couple of AKG microphones such as the P3S for varied duties such as backing vocals.
